Haha!! Nor made me laugh!

Um. Phone machine. Yes. Creepy. I like the idea/suggestion up there ^^ that they shouldn’t do that without telling you you are talking to a machine. It would be ethical if they warned you. Of course, then probably most people would hang up right away. But … still, then you don’t have people feeling sub-human (even though they’re the human one in the equation!) And on the reverse side, then you may get people marveling – “Can you believe what they can make computers do?! That is amazing! It’s like I’m talking to a real person!” That seems to be … quite a bit more ethical. Although – I’m sure most of the world would agree that talking to a live person is the better option all around.

Mandy: You can probably look up Buddy Hacket on YouTube to see how funny he is. (When you do, be glad I didn’t tell you the potato joke!) But, yes, I am okay. Of course I’m okay. Why-ever would I not be okay…?

Zach: Sorry. You need to understand 100% of what I have said to qualify for GeEkDoM! I’m not worried about CIA or the NSA. They know the difference between hijacking a blog and…Well, that other crap.

I don’t think Mandy would ever banish me. I’m just too much fun.

As for cars, I prefer good-ol’-fashioned MUSCLE. When cars were made with mechanics and industrialization–NOT computers.

That includes the fuel injection. Cause, like, computers just make cars look so dern fuelish!

Oh my….Nor you are my hero, i’ve always wanted to hijack a blog but never had the gall to for fear of being banished. There i said it. And Nor, i understood about 90% of what you wrote, does that qualify me for geekdom?

Now lets all say hi to the CIA and NSA who are most likely reading this b/c the word hijack has been written multiple times. =)

Now to actually comment on the blog, tech is only gonna get worse/better from here, multiple cores, new storage devices, fibre optics becoming the norm in everything, etc, etc, etc. Strap on your seat belts people, its gonna be a fun ride…did i mention i like cars where the only computur controled function is the fuel injection? aka anything built 1992 or earlier. =)

I’m not really a geek, you know. I just play one on Mandy’s blog.

Now, to understand the magnitude of that, try to imagine a Volvo in Los Angeles steering a Volvo in Prague.

Makes your spin just a bit, doesn’t it?

In fact, not too long ago, scientists split a photon and ran each half along six miles of fiber optic cable. Amazingly enough, each half followed the exact same pattern as the other half, even though they were separated by miles.

AND that the SAME OBJECT can be in TWO DIFFERENT PLACES at the SAME TIME.

Now tell me that ain’t cool.
